On April 29th, what happened in Yizhou City on this day became more and more sensational. It was spreading outside Yizhou at a very fast speed. Within a month, the news spread quickly. Entering the territory of the Tang Dynasty, it caused quite a shock. No matter who it was, they were discussing these matters after tea and dinner.
First of all, the Ye family is a world-famous medical family. When the former Yushi Zhongcheng Ye Sanlang was still supervising the Yushi, Jiangnan and his party removed Liu Zhao, the governor of Yangzhou. On the surface, it seemed to be because of Li Huaiyuan's sudden death. , but this is not the case. The account books finally found in Liu Zhao's mansion involved a huge mysterious business chain. Liu Zhao was one link, the Ye family was another link, and the other link was said to be a high-ranking prince, but the news It is blocked, so its authenticity remains to be verified.
According to reliable sources, the Ye family got in touch with a young prince from Zanpu in Tubo a few years ago. They took advantage of the Ye family's fleet to transport medicinal materials every year and took advantage of Liu Zhao's position to smuggle cast iron swords from Yangzhou. South Road, and then transported to Tibet through cover at Yizhou Wharf. After several years, the smuggled cast iron reached a very alarming number. After knowing this matter, Ye Sanlang decided to eradicate the Ye family. According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, the Ye family must not be allowed to stay. After receiving the instructions from Emperor Xuanzong, Ye Sanlang arrived in Yizhou and began to lay out.
In addition, it was also heard that Ye Sanlang was the son of Ye Tianzheng, the head of the Ye family. He eradicated the Ye family and avenged the previous generation Ye Tianzheng and Ye Tianfang's fight for the head of the family. It is said that Ye Sanlang transformed into Li Yuan, the second son of Li Linfu, and began to operate in Yizhou. At the same time, he controlled the spread of the news to prevent flaws from being exposed. After many days of preparation, the network against the Ye family was basically closed. At this time, the Ye family seemed to have heard something, and the young prince of Tubo immediately sent an assassin against Li Yuan, who was suspected of being Ye Sanlang. In the end, they failed, but Ye Sanlang's wife Li Sihan had been missing for many days and was probably dead. After that, the young prince of Tubo was retaliated by Ye Sanlang and was brutally killed in his palace. Tubo Zanpu also sent several secret letters to Emperor Xuanzong, specifying the head of Ye Sanlang.
On April 29th, all the troops of Zhechong Prefecture in Yizhou were mobilized to arrest people related to the Ye family. Chen Rizheng, the captain of Zhechong Prefecture, also personally led a group of troops to assist Ye Sanlang in checking the Ye family mansion. . Regarding Ye Sanlang himself, there are all kinds of magical rumors in the world. Some people say that all the three religions and nine streams in the world surrender to him. As long as they are ordered by him, these people will do anything. This is something that Ye Sanlang can control. Some people began to believe the news before it spread out in Jiannan Road; some said that he had a whole group of cultivation masters under his command. No one believed this at first, because the most common rumors before were that Ye Sanlang had joined an ordinary gang. Those cultivators are often like dragons that see the beginning but not the end. How could they be willing to obey Ye Sanlang and return a large number of them? But on the day of the inspection of the Ye family, Ye Sanlang only had two followers with him, and he easily defeated the two cultivators guarding the main entrance of the Ye family. There were even some evildoers who made the incident shocking and made the gods cry. From this, it can be seen that , some people do believe this.
As for the search of the Ye family, not counting the Ye family's external assets, the total financial search of the Ye family's mansion amounted to about 10,000,000 taels. That's more than 10,000 taels! This point has been discussed the most in the arena. After all, this is a wealth that even Emperor Xuanzong is jealous of. Many people have already started to take action.
Although the Ye family was exterminated, all Baiyetang branches throughout the Tang Dynasty were not implicated and were all managed by the Zhao family, who succeeded the No. 1 family in Jiannan Road. Most people agree with this. After all, Baiyetang has a good reputation and has stood for more than a hundred years. To the common people, it is nothing if the Ye family is gone, but Baiyetang cannot be without Baiyetang. The Zhao family has a relationship with Ye Sanlang before this. Secret agreement, but also happy to take over this stall.
If this matter ended here, it would indeed be considered a sensational news, but before the matter was over, when the search of Ye's family was completed, Emperor Xuanzong actually sent envoys to arrive, deprived Ye Sanlang of his official position on the spot, and severely Ye Sanlang was charged with two crimes. One was to kill the little prince of Tibet and affect the peace between the two countries. The second was to accuse Ye Sanlang of confiscating Liu Zhao's assets and embezzling finances while raiding the Ye family. However, there were hundreds of Yizhou people present at the time. When the news reached Yangzhou, many Yangzhou people said that this was not the case at all. Although Ye Sanlang himself did not say anything about the fact that he was accused of killing the little Tibetan prince, he did Immediately deny the latter one.
Moreover, what is even more shocking is that after denying it, Ye Sanlang suddenly drew his sword and killed himself. His head flew out and died on the spot. This fact happened so suddenly that no one present could react. When people came to their senses, it was already too late.
After the incident, people from all over the country spontaneously burned incense and paper for Ye Sanlang. Some ordinary people and people in the political circles immediately began to attack the government and were suppressed. Later, for unknown reasons, both in the political circles and among the people, they all became quiet. Some people speculate that this should be premeditated.
The huge wealth of the Ye family, as well as Ye Sanlang's body, were escorted by 10,000 border troops led by Zhang Yu Jianqiong, the Jiedushi envoy of Jiannan Province, to Chang'an. He also went to Beijing to report on his work, and now he has arrived in Shannan. near Tongzhou. At this time, I don’t know where the rumors came from, saying that many forces in the world have taken action, and the targets are the huge wealth and Ye Sanlang’s body. If Ye Sanlang’s body is transported to Chang’an, I am afraid it will be handed over to Tibet after being questioned. Zamp, these people who always value love and justice will not let this happen.
Therefore, after Zhang Yu Jianqiong discussed with the accompanying Jiannan Road envoy Xian Yu Zhongtong, they decided to temporarily station troops in Tongzhou and wait for the arrival of reinforcements sent by Chang'an before setting off again. Xianyu Zhongtong seemed to be in a bad mood. After all, Ye Sanlang was his nephew, and he ended up in this situation. He didn't know how to explain it to his deceased sister. But now that he is transporting Ye Sanlang's body back to Chang'an, he knows very well what will happen. Even if he wants to do something, he can't violate the emperor's orders. He even secretly hopes that someone will come to seize Ye Sanlang's body, so that he will feel better. Some.
…………
Chang'an, Yonglefang, Yejia.
This is the home of Ye Sanlang, who is currently on the cusp of the storm. In the past few days, it can be said that this place was very lively, with various people coming to visit every day. There was often a long queue of carriages parked at the door. These people There were officials from the court and rich people who came to visit. Among them was the richest man in the Tang Dynasty, Wang Yuanbao. There were so many visitors because the young master of the Ye family in Chang'an was favored by Emperor Xuanzong at a young age and was promoted to a higher position. , and is famous all over the world. But now it is deserted, the door is locked, no one comes to visit, and even the funeral seems to have not been held. It seems that even Ye Tianzheng, as a father, does not dare to disobey Li Longji's wishes.
Anyone can see that Li Longji clearly wants to get rid of Ye Sanlang, just like throwing away useless chess pieces, and Ye Sanlang is too famous, and he even heard that he has a group of cultivation masters under his command. Perhaps Li Longji was deeply afraid, so he did not directly express his intention to kill Ye Sanlang. He only said that he would take Ye Sanlang to Chang'an first. Who knew that this guy had such a fierce temper and committed suicide on the spot. It is said that when Li Longji heard about this, he sat in the imperial study room for a long time, and then he couldn't help but sigh that he had lost a good general.
Just when no one dared to have a relationship with the Ye family, a young man in a white robe knocked on the door of the Ye family. In the concierge's doubtful eyes, he handed the concierge an ingot of patterned silver. He said: "Please tell your master that a relative from afar is visiting."
